An Indianapolis man who allegedly fired shots into a police officer's home as his wife and child slept inside has been
charged with criminal recklessness and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.

A Greensburg father who pleaded guilty to felony dangerous control of a child after his young son accidently shot his future
stepbrother lost his claim before the Indiana Court of Appeals that the trial court shouldn’t have considered evidence
relating to a dismissed charge.

An Indiana man serving a life sentence for the abduction and murder of an eastern Illinois girl over two decades ago has been
identified as a suspect in the strangulation of a woman found in 1986 outside a southwestern Illinois town.

The Indiana Supreme Court until Tuesday had never directly addressed the issue of whether two sentences of life imprisonment
without parole can be imposed consecutively under Indiana law. Justices decided today that I.C. 35-50-1-2(c) permits it.

The Indiana Supreme Court’s Advisory Task Force on Remote Access to and Privacy of Electronic Court Records voted Friday
to recommend attorneys and clients have access online to all criminal case filings they are party to after the conviction
has been entered, but did not set a date for when that would be available. The task force is considering whether pre-conviction
criminal case filings should go online.

The Indiana Court of Appeals found a counsel's mistake did not constitute judicial admission in a man's trial when he was
found guilty of molesting his stepdaughter. But the appeals court remanded his guilty plea for being a habitual offender,
finding he did not waive his right to trial on the issue at court, his attorney did.

An Indianapolis man convicted of possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon failed to persuade the Indiana Court of
Appeals that the search that led to discovery of the gun wasn't supported by reasonable suspicion.

The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld a man's contempt of court charges after it found just because a man was on video didn't
mean he couldn't commit contempt, and the evidence was enough to uphold the charges.

In its third meeting, the Advisory Task Force on Remote Access to and Privacy of Electronic Court Records shifted discussion
to what types of trial court cases should be made available online at mycase.in.gov and any potential issues in doing so.

New York’s highest court on Tuesday upheld a driver’s conviction for illegal possession for a gravity knife, rejecting
arguments that he didn’t know the folding knife he used for work could open with a flick of the wrist.

The Indiana Supreme Court ruled a man who was convicted of four driving offenses should have his case dismissed because the
prosecution did not bring him to trial in time while he was in prison for a separate conviction.

Although the majority found a defendant’s evasiveness in answering identifying questions from a police officer “reprehensible,”
the judges reversed the man’s failure to identify conviction because he did eventually provide the information to the
officer.

The Indiana Court of Appeals said an indigency hearing is not required before determining fees in a court case, though it
should be conducted at some point, in a case where a man was charged more than $1,000 in court fees without a hearing. It
also said the court cannot impose requirements that he maintain a “C” average in his school and have full-time
employment.
